Chapter 261 Behave Yourself Until You're Fully Recovered

After a few days of indulgence, things took a turn for the worse.

Benjamin caught a fever!

Madelyn was both embarrassed and mad. She refused to let him come close and forced him to rest at home.

Benjamin was restless even when he was sick, always getting handsy. Madelyn couldn't control him, and she didn't dare make a big fuss and take him to the hospital. She only called the family doctor. On Monday, Brianna called and invited her for a coffee.

Madelyn breathed a sigh of relief.

She pushed open the study door and found Benjamin leaning against the couch and reading documents.

He wore a white sweater and gray leisure pants, exuding a lazy and homely vibe.

Madelyn walked over and touched his forehead.

Luckily, the fever had subsided.

Benjamin grabbed her hand and looked at her with a faint smile. "Going out?"

Madelyn nodded. "Mom asked me to come over!"

Benjamin's gaze returned to the documents, and he snorted lightly. "So you're just going to leave the patient at home? Mrs. Clark... you enjoy yourself and don't take responsibility?" Madelyn spoke softly. "I'll be back early in the afternoon!"

He remained silent.

Madelyn kissed him. "Is that okay?"

Benjamin stared at her for a while before slowly saying, "Fine! I want chicken porridge for dinner!"

Madelyn agreed.

She took a car to the Clark's mansion. Only Brianna was there when she arrived, so she asked, "Where's Eloise?"

Brianna smiled and replied, "She took Emerson out to play!"

She led Madelyn upstairs and into the living room of the master bedroom.

In such a private place, Madelyn knew Brianna wanted to discuss something confidential and didn't want the household servants to overhear.

She voluntarily went to make coffee.

After brewing the coffee and placing it down, they sat close together. Brianna handed a photo to Madelyn and said, "This person is around the same age as Eloise, and he is a university teacher and has a small business. How do you think of him?"

Madelyn took the photo and examined it closely.

He looked good and had an elegant temperament...

Madelyn thought he was pretty good!

Brianna appeared worried. "Maddie, can you help me persuade Eloise? Although she agreed to the blind date, she is very negative about it! But she can't stay single forever. Her father doesn't say it out loud, but deep down, he hopes she can start a family."

Madelyn felt a surge of emotions.

She felt somewhat guilty.

Brianna could sense her feelings and patted her hand. "Her relationship with your uncle wasn't one-sided! It's just that there wasn't meant to be any fate between them!"

As she spoke, she wiped away a tear. "They have a child now. They might have considered a reunion for the kid's sake if it weren't for the unresolved conflicts!" Madelyn comforted her for a long time...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Eloise returned with Emerson.

Madelyn played with Emerson, and after a while, Eloise could tell why Madelyn came here. She called a servant to take Emerson to have dessert.

With the room quiet, Eloise whispered, "Maddie, mom asked you to come here, didn't she?"

Madelyn sighed softly.

She gently tapped on a photo, and Eloise stared at it for a long time...

Madelyn whispered, "If you don't want to go, I'll talk to them! And if that doesn't work, we can have your brother discuss it with them!"

She didn't want to pressure Eloise.

Because she was also a woman, she could tell that Eloise hadn't fully moved on from that past relationship, and with Emerson by her side, it wouldn't be easy for her to accept someone else! Eloise clenched the photo and lowered her gaze.

After a while, she said in a low but firm voice, "Maddie, I'll go."

Madelyn was momentarily stunned.

Eloise looked up, and a faint smile appeared. "People have to move forward, right? I'm willing to go on this blind date. Besides, this person looks pretty good, and maybe we'll get along!" Madelyn didn't know what to say!

She gently embraced Eloise...

Eloise leaned against her shoulder. Maybe because she was close to Madelyn, she was willing to share those emotions that she didn't want to show to others. Her voice choked with sadness, "Maddie! I truly liked him back then, a hundred times more than I liked Daniel! But he had so much... I felt so insignificant!"

Madelyn left the Clark's mansion.

After picking up Everest and returning home, she couldn't focus on anything.

Even when she was making shredded chicken porridge, she accidentally burned herself.

Benjamin felt heartbroken and took her hand to apply medicine, silently watching her. "What did my mother say? Is it because of Eloise's situation that you are so lost?"

Madelyn was about to answer but noticed Everest looking at them wide-eyed.

She held back her words and whispered, "Let's talk about it tonight!"

Benjamin chuckled.

He put Everest to bed and went back to the master bedroom.

As he walked in, he saw Madelyn in a bathrobe. She was applying skincare products in front of the dressing table. He approached her gently and traced along her graceful shoulder line, his voice husky. "What happened to Eloise?"

Madelyn didn't stop him.

She let him indulge her as she savored the moment.

Finally, she leaned softly against his shoulder and whispered everything to him.

Benjamin kissed the soft flesh behind her ear, his voice husky. "Madelyn, do you want her to be with Kenneth?"

Madelyn turned around and hugged his waist.

She said softly, "Yes...and no! Ben, I want her to marry for love, not settle for less! Do you know a woman with a child will always be at a disadvantage in the dating pool, no matter how young and beautiful she is?"

She couldn't bear to see Eloise like this!

Today, Eloise cried so sadly that Madelyn guessed she was willing to go on a blind date because of her parents.

Her identity was exceptional, so she told all of this to Benjamin, hoping he would take it to heart.

After listening, Benjamin remained silent for a long time...

Then he embraced her completely, gently caressing her earlobe. "Madelyn, did you marry for love? Tell me, okay?"

Madelyn's voice was low. "I was talking about Eloise with you!"

Benjamin smiled faintly.

He leaned in to kiss her for a while before saying, "Let her go on the blind date! It will be beneficial for her and her relationship with Kenneth. If Kenneth can bear it, then they were never meant to be." It can only be said that Madelyn still didn't fully understand him!

Madelyn looked at him, unmoving.

After a while, Benjamin tugged at her ear. "Are you dumbfounded? Stop staring at me like that!"

Madelyn still didn't move.

He had always been driven by desire, and now she was sitting in his arms in a disheveled state, which made him unable to resist.

Madelyn snapped back to reality and gently held his hand, her face blushing. "You're still not well! Behave yourself... Wait until you're fully recovered, okay?"

Benjamin chuckled softly.

Madelyn almost dared not look into his eyes. She was about to replace a reason to send him to the guest room when footsteps could be heard in the stairwell, followed by the maid at the door saying, "Mr. Clark and Mrs. Clark, Mr. Ryan is here!"

Madelyn was visibly startled.

She looked at Benjamin. "It's so late. Why would Uncle come over?"

Benjamin straightened his clothes and whispered, "It must be something important. I'll go down first. You change and come down later!"

Madelyn nodded.

Inside the villa's grand hall, the crystal chandelier illuminated the spacious area.

Kenneth was not sitting but standing in front of the piano, carefully observing. He had heard that Benjamin spent a staggering 85.7 million to buy this antique piece, which was truly insane!

"Uncle!"

Benjamin stood in the stairwell and called out.

He gazed at Kenneth and reluctantly admitted that this older man was very attractive. Even just from behind, he exuded charm...
